    Active check are kind a like DynDns. Agent will send data to the server regarding of its own IP address. Very useful when you play with zabbix agent on Android or any other devices that use 3G/LTE . As you specify, by default all items are Passive. But... when you add new host, the default IP address is 127.0.0.1 , which is the default for adding active agent...:) I learn a lot from this video. Will subscribe.

    very clear explanation, thanks! what about open ports (10050/10051) - is it secure to have them opened (on agent machines and server)?

    I dont think that theres anything dangerous. On Agent side you can limit from who accept connections. If you dont want to open anything incoming you choose active checks.

    Language like "over A" is not clear. Imho better would be to indicated source and destination: "from server port A to agent port B". "Over" does not let me know if you are talking about the source or destination port. Now it leaves me confused and not giving me answers about which ports to open where, essential when it comes to firewalls.

    I really don't think having 100 agents is a good idea. You could max out your CPU. It's ok to raise up the timeout. Especially if your CPU is getting pegged. Sure, when nothing is running you'll see .002 seconds to get a number back. But try that in a real production environment where the CPU is getting pegged. RAISE THE TIMEOUT. It's ok.
